Mexican Guacamole

Perfect guacamole lives in the space between smooth and chunky, where every bite gives you both creamy avocado and distinct pieces that remind you this started as real fruit, not something from a tube. The secret isn't in exotic ingredients—it's in timing, technique, and knowing when to stop.

Peruvian Causa Limeña

Smooth potato puree whipped with lime juice and ají amarillo, layered with avocado, tomato, and protein like an elegant terrine—that's causa. The technique transforms humble potatoes into something sophisticated enough for dinner parties yet comforting enough for family meals, proving potatoes deserve way more respect than we give them.

Banh Mi

There's something magical about a proper banh mi—the way the crispy baguette gives way to tender meat, the cool crunch of pickled vegetables cutting through rich pâté, fresh herbs brightening everything up. It's Vietnamese street food at its finest, a perfect balance of French technique and Southeast Asian flavors that somehow makes complete sense.

Vietnamese Spring Rolls

Ingredients that you can see through the wrapper—that's the magic of Vietnamese spring rolls. Each roll becomes a little edible stained glass window, with pink shrimp, green herbs, white noodles, and colorful vegetables arranged like they're meant to be admired before they're eaten.

Classic Sauerkraut

My first attempt at sauerkraut was a disaster. I used table salt (wrong), packed it loosely (wrong), and fermented it somewhere warm (also wrong). The result was mushy, overly salty, and vaguely alcoholic. But something about the process — watching simple ingredients transform through time and salt — hooked me completely.
